Smalliebigs Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Oh, Wally you know where the "EYE" holes are on the Meramec, don't you???? and if you don't pm me and I will tell you where I catch them....here a hint the close you go to the Lou the better you will do.
Hog Wally Posted August 30, 2011 Author Posted August 30, 2011 Okay I'm still new to this what does pm stand for and what's Lou ?
Kayser Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Lou- St. Louis. Downriver in the Meramec- it's bigger water, more wood, more deep bluff holes. PM- private message. To keep people like me (or lurkers) from going out and beating the river to death because of something we read here. Anything I've ever heard about them tells me you want to find a nice, deep bluff hole with some good boulders in it, and fish big 4-6" minnows on the bottom at dusk, somewhere near the head of the hole, but not in the riffle. I would recommend pm'ing Smalliebigs, as insider knowledge is always preferable to just general knowledge and tips. If I find the time this year, I plan on chasing them (never caught one). But being my last semester and needing to find a grad school, this fall isn't looking that promising for me. Rob WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
Smalliebigs Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I just wanna go fishing ! Man the river looks perfect Just took my two little girls to our river property below redhorse and splashed around a little while in the ripple above me the top water bite was going on Sweet!!!! I love the river around Redhorse. the biggest Smallmouth I have ever witnessed caught was taken from just below Shady Beach where the Indian creek flows in, although that was 1985.......still asweet area though
Smalliebigs Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Im playing hooky I'm headed to sand ford with my dad who never fishes the river so I'll take pictures if he catches a walleye it'll be his first Wally, that's awsome!!! I hope your dad catches a nice one. Downstream from Sand Ford are some of the best holes on the river, from Sand Ford to Redhorse is trophy time!!!!! good luck and please post pics and next time you are playing hooky......please pm me ahead of time and I will pay for gas and anything else you need. You can nail the Walleyes and I'll hammer the Smallies.
Hog Wally Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 How do I post pictures ? Myself or my genius 13 year old daughter can't figure it out on my I phone
Smalliebigs Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 How do I post pictures ? Myself or my genius 13 year old daughter can't figure it out on my I phone Wally, man sorry about the hull!!!! wow I'm glad neither you or dad were hurt other than your pride. There are some nice fish down there that's for sure. The best way to post pics is to store them at outside site like imageshack or something like that and then use your insert image button up top on your menu when you are posting.If you drag your mouse over it you will see insert image, click it and delete the address that is prefilled and insert your image of the biggest Walleye you have possibly ever seen. Go get his toothy butt, you are really making me want to hit Sand Ford!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. as you know becareful coming back to the ramp at Sand Ford going upstream, you have to really stick it in a small curved channel there with a few big olde rocks....three people I know have ripped their hulls open like a can as you said
Kayser Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I'm curious- how did you get the walleye to bite? WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
